Dick Knight stadium tribute

[Barrel of Fun]

I am pretty sure Arthur had been insinuating that we would never fulfill the Falmer dream with Dick Knight as Chairman.

 

[Easy 10]

Arthur thinks you can buy planning permission for a stadium in an AONB and completely hoodwink the council over funding, so I wouldn't lend too much weight to his bizarre myopic slants.

 

[Brighton M]

I'm pretty sure you are wrong.

He's not.

Still, he's a hero though - along with Bloom.

Definitely should have something named after them both, hospitality suites is a good idea.

No luck getting a sponsor at this stage, so I would think there's a good chance of naming stands after them as well.

 

[BensGrandad]

He's not.

I was fairly certain but thank you for confirming it.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was fairly certain but thank you for confirming it.

Just out of interest - Why does Brighton M confirming that...er...confirm things?

Does Dick still hold the same amount of shares or did T Bloom buy the majority of them?

 

[sams dad]

Surely its the fans who also kept this club afloat so we all deserve a mention

As you have admitted that you refuse to attend matches at Withdean, perhaps you can enlighten us as to how you have contributed to the club's survival ?

 

[Working class pride]

What about a mural to the War Years somewhere at the new ground with DK, Ian Hart, Attilla and all featuring. Id like to see a DK, TB and MP statue as well as they delivered it together in different ways

 

[BensGrandad]

My memory is a little hazy but I am fairly certain that DK was repaid the money he laid out and it had nothing to do with his shares. I am reasonably sure that it was reported on here as being on the annual accounts but am not prepared to stake my life on it.

even if so then so what. He led the consortium, negotiated with Archer and put his hand in his pocket in our darkest hour.

Nobody is disputing that. The dispute ,if any is what to do to remember him and I believe that naming a stand after him is inappropriate. Others have said because he gave £1.5m of his own money that should happen I am just stating that he didnt as he had been repaid the money he loaned the club. As I have said I think they should name the approach road after him.

Well if it was reported on here then it MUST be fact, obviously.

Howabout naming a toilet after Mrs Cuttrarse

And pictures of Archer and Bellotti on the porcelain

 

[BensGrandad]

As I said I am not 100% certain. I am sure somebody will check the accounts for the past 10 or so years if they are that worried or concerned. Personally I am not and do believe that he should be remembered in some way without going OTT.

 

[Brixtaan]

In defence of Arthur, money would probably have speeded things up.Just look at Arsenal,they steamrollered through the nimbys and bulldozed half of north London in double quick time.
However the money wasn't there so DK had to smarm up to lots of unsavoury retards over a very long period of time.FOR THAT REASON ALONE GIVE HIM THE STATUE*.

* The statue doesn't have to be a him striding across the central concourse with his arms in the air,just a dignified nod to his work somewhere to the side.I don't know,perhaps sitting at a desk working, with Mr Bloom standing behind with his hand on his shoulder (overseeing with his cash)

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

There has to be a stand or something named after him, if anything, just to piss off Arthur and BensGrandad.

Arsenal were not building in an AONB. Cash might grease the palms in urban planning apps (see the Olympics) but countryside jobbies are another animal

 

[Tooting Gull]

I don't think a statue is appropriate for Knight, I'd rather that was kept for players and managers (if anyone sticks around long enough to become a club great...). Maybe a stand named after him would be about right.

I'd love to see the Reinelt Bar, though. And the nightclub Wards.

Yeah, that's really worked for Liverpool and their new stadium.
